MT.1083 - Ensure Delicensing Resiliency is enabled

Description

Delicensing Resiliency should be enabled to maintain access to mailboxes when licenses are removed, providing a grace period before access is lost. This helps prevent immediate disruption when licenses expire or are reassigned.

Remediation action:

Enable Delicensing Resiliency by running the following PowerShell command in Exchange Online:

Connect-ExchangeOnline
Set-OrganizationConfig -DelayedDelicensingEnabled:$true

Optional: Configure User Notifications

You can also configure notifications to inform administrators and end users about delicensing events:

# Enable tenant admin notifications for delicensing events
Set-OrganizationConfig -TenantAdminNotificationForDelayedDelicensingEnabled:$true

# Enable end user mail notifications for delicensing events
Set-OrganizationConfig -EndUserMailNotificationForDelayedDelicensingEnabled:$true

Note: These notification settings help ensure stakeholders are informed when licensing changes occur that could affect mailbox access.
